Lord of Riding and Slashing

The terrain around Tewen City is very flat in the north, and it is because of its unique geographical advantages that Tewen City is the central city of the entire North and the largest city in the North, not just because it is Twen Marquis' domain.

So outside the city of Twen, the knights actually have a place to use. Although they cannot charge long distances, the twenty or so knights of Earl Mandel also look very spectacular, especially because each of them is wearing bright clothes. The chain mail actually looks a little dazzling.

The crossbowmen of the three squadrons in the camp have already lined up. Nord adopts the classic three-shot formation, which can basically guarantee the continuous output ability of the crossbowmen. The crossbowmen who are ready for battle They were very silent. They held crossbows in their hands and listened intently to the instructions. As long as there is an order, the one hundred and fifty crossbowmen can explode like a storm. If the twenty knights dare to charge, Nord Make sure they never come back.

It is obvious that Earl Mandel is not that stupid. Looking at the heavily guarded camp, he will definitely not rush in like a stupefied young man. Earl Mandel just wants to find out the reality of Nord, he will not at all Joking about his own life, Earl Mandel and the others reined in their horses and stopped just two hundred steps before the crossbowmen.

Looking at the neat formation and calm style of the soldiers on the opposite side, Earl Mandel's heart gradually sank, because he could feel an infinite pressure. The soldiers on the opposite side should not be easy to mess with, like hard stubble, it seems I need to go back and re-plan. With such a variable, tomorrow's siege plan may not be carried out normally.

Earl Mandel was about to return to his camp as soon as he waved his hand. When he turned his horse's head, he suddenly heard a neat sound of bowstring vibrating, and then the sound of swishing arrows piercing the air. Earl Mandel shouted in his heart. Well, he is too familiar with this sound. It must be that the enemy on the other side has shot arrows at them, but Earl Mandel still has some doubts in his heart. Are bows and arrows useful at such a long distance?

Nord looked at the knights who stopped on the opposite side with a hint of disappointment in their eyes. If they walked a little further, they would have entered the effective range of the crossbowmen, because they were wearing chain mail, even if they were black iron wood The crossbow's range of 200 meters can only be determined by fate, so after seeing them stop, Nord decisively ordered to release the arrows.

Now that you're here, don't think about leaving so easily. Even if the crossbow can't do much damage to them, Nord must give him a warning to let them know that he is not easy to mess with. He didn't come whenever he wanted. If you want to go, you can go.

Following Nord's order, the crossbowmen in the first row took the lead in pulling the trigger, then quickly squatted down and wound up, assembled the crossbow arrows, and then the second row, and the third row alternated in turn, keeping as much as possible The crossbow arrows are continuous, and this set of procedures has been repeatedly trained for a long time, and the soldiers will never make mistakes.

The crossbow bolts show a covering strike, because there are only more than 20 enemies, Nord's crossbowmen can cover that area with firepower, even if they are not good at shooting, but the number and strength of the crossbow bolts are enough for them to drink a pot Yes, so Nord saw that after he gave the order, a continuous rain of arrows submerged more than 20 knights on the opposite side.

It was already too late when Earl Mandel heard the sound of the crossbow bolt breaking through the air. The horse's running could not compare to the speed of the arrow arrow. Moreover, Earl Mandel felt a huge force behind him. He groaned, knowing that he had been hit by the arrow. Fortunately, I was wearing a thick layer of chain mail, otherwise I would be planted here today.

"Quick retreat!"

Earl Mandel whipped the sitting horse fiercely with a whip, and after roaring at the others, he immediately rushed towards his camp. In fact, Earl Mandel didn't need to remind them, each of them ran very fast , under such circumstances, no one would stay there foolishly.

But Nord's black ironwood crossbow is not a vegetarian either. Although such a long distance cannot penetrate the chain mail head-on, if it hits some places without armor protection, it is still very lethal, so it is In this short tens of seconds, Earl Mandel and the others seemed to be unable to feel the passage of time, and every second felt so long.

In fact, it is only a distance of 100 meters, because the limit range of the black iron wood crossbow is only more than 300 meters, and the arrows become weaker as they go to the back. This short distance of 100 meters makes no one The prepared knights suffered a big loss. Although the damage was not very serious, except for one unlucky guy who happened to be shot by the crossbow bolt and was killed on the spot, the others did not suffer too many casualties. .

This was nothing but embarrassment. At least ten knights were shot off their horses by crossbowmen. When they fell off their horses, these knights were dizzy. After identifying the direction, these knights started to run towards the camp. In a life-and-death situation, everyone had unleashed their potential, and the 100-meter sprint was at least within ten seconds.

After rushing out of the range of the crossbowmen, Earl Mandel and the others didn't look back, nor did they count the casualties of their subordinates, they went back to their camp directly, followed by a group of fallen knights on foot, when they came out, Compared with the menacing scene of riding a war horse, this moment looks extremely embarrassing.

All this was seen by a nobleman standing on the city wall of Tevin. The chain mail on this nobleman was soaked in blood. It was impossible to tell whether it was the enemy's or his own. He was similar to Earl Mandel. At a young age, his hair began to turn gray, but his body was stronger, his face looked very tough, he looked calm and arrogant, and Gustav was standing beside him.

The small-scale friction that took place below the city must have escaped the attention of everyone in Twen City. In fact, when Earl Mandel’s men rode out of the camp on their horses, someone had already reported the news to the Marquis of Twen , and then he saw the scene under the city clearly.

"Our chance has come. Give all your baijiu to the soldiers. I will go out of the city with me tomorrow to meet the enemy. I have been suppressed and beaten by them for the past few days. I really can't swallow my breath."

The Marquis of Tewen gave instructions to Gustav without looking back. Their eyes have been fixed on the direction of the Nord camp. If Earl Mandel and others hadn't left the camp suddenly, the Marquis of Twin really hadn't noticed when there was an extra army of reinforcements outside the city. For so many days, let alone It was the soldiers of Tewen City, and even the Marquis of Tewen himself did not give much hope.

In half a month, even if the news is blocked, it is enough to come to support Tewen City, but for so many days, the Marquis of Tewen has not seen a reinforcement coming. If it does not come at this time, it will be true. will not come.

This situation made the Marquis of Tewen even more sad than the rebellion of the three earls under him. He did not expect that he had ruled the northern border for so many years, but no nobleman came to support him. If there were no reinforcements, the Marquis of Tewen would not know that he would still Can last for a few days.
